Parkdale Project Read, a community literacy program, is hosting a symposium called "Moving beyond tokenism: Strengthening community on community Boards of Directors." This symposium invites members of community boards of directors to discuss barriers such as arcane procedures, formal language and an over-reliance on written documents to the full participation at community board meetings, particularly by board members who do not have experience working on boards of directors, who may have difficulty reading minutes and written background material.

The population of Ontario is become more diverse.  By 2011 most new entrants to the labour force will be peoples of colour and aboriginal peoples.  Yet in percentage terms, fewer and fewer peoples of colour and aboriginal peoples are joining unions.  To bring about a deeper understanding between unions and communities, ant to promote social and economic justice for ALL workers, the OFL and the Colour of Poverty  Campaign will host a one day forum bringing unionists and activists from communities of colour together to develop a common action plan which will promote "green jobs" in an equitable society and sustainable economy while strenghtening the organized labour sector.

We are coming together to build a green movement for all across Greater Toronto with good jobs, equity and social justice, and environmental sustainability.
